Psalms 72:1-14

Give the king [knowledge of] Your judgments, O God, And [the spirit of] Your righteousness to the king’s son [to guide all his ways]. May he judge Your people with righteousness, And Your afflicted with justice. [1 Kin 3:1-5] The mountains will bring peace and prosperity to the people, And the hills, in [the establishment of] righteousness. May he bring justice to the poor among the people, Save the children of the needy And crush the oppressor, ¶Let them fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and worship You with obedience] while the sun endures, And as long as the moon [reflects light], throughout all generations. May he come down like rain on the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth. In his days may the righteous flourish, And peace abound until the moon is no more. [Is 11:1-9] ¶May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth. [Zech 14:9] The nomads of the desert will bow before him, And his enemies will lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring offerings; The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts. Yes, all kings will bow down before him, All nations will serve him. [Ps 138:4] ¶For he will rescue the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted and abused also, and him who has no helper. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And he will save the lives of the needy. He will redeem their life from oppression and fraud and violence, And their blood will be precious in His sight.
